EA Sports NHL 11 Community Day

Re: EA Sports NHL 11 Community Day

In some ways, yes, but I've played a few nights of OTP and still had fun with it. I will say this... I was going to start a GM mode to toy with over the summer and now I'm not sure that I can. Too many big & little additions to the mode -- to say nothing of gameplay versus the CPU -- to go on with it now.

Thanks!

Maybe you can answer this since it's not a concrete question: do you think this year's BAGM mode solves the 'atmosphere' problem everyone always talks about?

As a mainly GM mode player...this sounds very encouraging. Especially the hint of the gameplay being improved to the point of no return.

Man, this is getting downright painful waiting for the full release of info from you Qb.

This is why I love/hate this time of year. Once you start hearing about all the improvements and cool new things in the new game, your interest in the current game decreases considerably and you just want to play the new game. If I was Q, I would be miserable most likely. First to have to withhold the info he has until given the green light, plus having hands on with NHL 11 and now having to go back to 10 .

I know just what you mean Savoie.

I'd go through this every year with the football games. Hoping and thinking things would surely be better with the coming games. And ya...it did make it tough to keep my interest with the games I had.

And yep...Qb has it worse than the rest of us. I imagine he's splitting at the seams to fill us in. And hopefully NHL'10' seems really dated to Qb now.

One good thing about the wait for NHL'11' is...it'll make the summer go by a bit slower. Always a good thing up here in Frostbite Falls MN.

I wish they could get the game modes down so perfect that we could take a year or two off from iterations and simply bought roster updates.

THen give them a year or two to blow our minds.

Hmmm, how to answer? I guess I can't give a real answer as certain things that might add to the "atmosphere" were not fully implemented. Or so I was told...

And as for everyone feeling so bad for me, I think I'll be OK. I played a few nights of EASHL action and it was the same mix of 90/10% fun/crap. Haven't played too much offline since the trip, although I might do a playoff mode or two in the near future. It's hard to go back, but what choice do I have, right?

Man there are a lot of things that I am loving hearing about this game! Can't wait to see this in action!

Always felt that hockey was the sports video game. I held off purchasing the last couple of years of hockey games because I need online franchising (like NCAA 2009) so I can play in leagues with my buddies and brothers.

Online Franchise = Automatic Purchase

Re: EA Sports NHL 11 Community Day

So any talk of a roster/slider share for next year?
